Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `extract_archive_to_dir` function within the
`mlflow/pyfunc/dbconnect_artifact_cache.py` file of the mlflow/mlflow repository. This vulnerability,
present in versions before v3.7.0, arises due to the lack of validation of tar member paths during

files or gain elevated privileges, potentially escaping the sandbox directory in multi-tenant or shared
cluster environments. (CVE-2025-15036)
